Right, I bought this in March as a dooer upper & put it on the road. It has 6 months MOT, but it is SORN as of the 1st Jan 2013.
I know it's not to everybodys taste, but it could make a stonking track bike at a very reasonable price. I'm not using it & have only done 1100 miles on it in 6 months as I use the Sprint all of the time. I did think about putting it on track, but have decided I'm better at taking pictures of race bikes than racing them myself. I do have the original seat & back end bodywork, but the fairing was beyond repair. Good points: Extremely reliable standard engine. I left it for over a month once, she started 1st time & ran sweet as a nut. Stainless downpipes Renegade race can Harris Clip Ons EBC Prolite discs F4 Sport clocks. It took me ages to wire these up, but they work brilliantly & look better than the standard clocks. CBR600RR tail end Bad points: It looks like carp, really does need a respray The paint on the frame isnt brilliant Aprillia front end doesn't suit it. I have been looking at fitting a GSXR1000 race bodywork to it (like I say, i was going to take it on track) Steelies sell for anything between £650 - £1600. This is the later, more powerful engined one, so think that £700 is a reasonable price. I am also looking for a decent digital SLR camera, so could be tempted to a swap for WHY? Here's my picture diary of what went into the rebuild. https://plus.google.com/photos/10881...48404277744129 ![]() ![]() |

The original clocks were missing when I bought it, so don't actually know. The lad I bought it off reckoned that it hadn't done too many, he bought it off his mate to build another race bike, but decided to stick with just the 2 he has now

I have a Canon EOS300D at the mo, but want something with a better resolution & faster shutter speed. I take a lot of Bike racing pictures, the 300 is ok, but I want something better

If it doesn't sell, then I might junk the front fairing & fit a single headlight. I'll also fit upright bars streetfighter stylee
